Pfeiffer tipped for Mamma Mia role
Pfeiffer: tipped to star in Mamma Mia the movie
Michelle Pfeiffer is being seriously considered to play the dancing queen
of Mamma Mia! the movie when it goes before the cameras next year.
It's very early days but I learn that the Oscar-nominated actress is one
of several leading ladies being looked at from afar by the film’s producer
Judy Craymer, the theatre executive who risked everything she owned on a
powerful hunch that a show featuring Abba songs would be a hit, and Gary
Goetzman of Playtone, the production company owned by Tom Hanks.
Ms Craymer was right. The show wasn’t merely a hit. It's a phenomenon. But
part of the secret of Mamma Mia’s! success was Catherine Johnson's
seemingly simple script that underpins the show.
The two women are now at work getting a screenplay ready and there are
rumours that Phyllida Lloyd — another architect of the show’s triumph, who
directed the musical around the world (it's still selling out in London
after seven years) — will also direct the film, which will shoot late next
summer.
The choreographer Anthony Van Laast, who did the dance numbers on stage,
will likely do the same for the film.
The main part in Mamma Mia! is that of Donna, a single mother who has
raised her daughter on a Greek paradise isle. As the daughter prepares to
get married, three men turn up — and each one could be her father.
Pfeiffer has recently re-charged her career with back-to-back roles shot
in London. She did romantic comedy I Could Never Be Your Woman and last
week completed work on Matthew Vaughn’s spectacular action-adventure
fantasy film Stardust. Michelle plays an evil witch in the film. Or ‘the
sexiest witch you’ll ever see,’ as Mr Vaughn put it.
Next, she will appear in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical
Hairspray.
The part of Donna is a meaty role for a star a tad past her ingenue years
(but she has to be able to sing).
Others likely to be sounded out along with Ms Pfeiffer include Kim
Basinger, Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep, who with her delicious turn in
The Devil Wears Prada, proved she shouldn’t be ruled out of anything.
Meanwhile, as Mamma Mia! mints millions weekly around the globe for its
various partners (Ms Craymer, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and the
creative team) a book about the show called How Can I Resist You hits
bookshops in the autumn. |
